I tested some older NxSDK versions. We were failing on 0.8.7 because some of the SNIP communication stuff doesn't work with that, so I've just dropped support for 0.8.7. Everything works on 0.9.0. (Except test_conv_deepnet, but that's an expected failure, since there's some population axon stuff that's been fixed in a more recent NxSDK. We actually used to skip that test on older NxSDK, but that got removed at some point. We could re-add an xfail or something, but it didn't seem worth it since we only ever run these tests on older NxSDK manually on a release.)
I also found some of the DVS stuff didn't work with older python/NxSDK, so I've fixed that. Also fixed some inconsistent naming of the format argument for DVS file format (I know format is a built-in, but I've never seen us use it as a stand-alone function, so I figured it's fine to overwrite it).
